Chapter 690: Journey to the Underworld
Chen Yile also nodded.
"Now that the Changsheng Sect is becoming increasingly rampant, and with the help of the divine artifact Samsara Mirror, we should put aside our prejudices and fight the enemy together."
"To show my sincerity, I, Chen Yile, will cure Grandma's illness first."
Chen Yile asked Ah Deng: "What time and place would be best?"
A Deng thought about it and told Chen Yile that three o'clock in the middle of the night would be the best time. At that time, the yin energy between heaven and earth would be at its peak, the door to the underworld would be wide open, and it would be easier to go to the underworld.
Afterwards, under the care of He Qingheng and others, Chen Yile, A Deng and A Pan were sent to the guest room to rest.
Shi Lingye ran over with a few dishes and asked Chen Yile to taste them.
"This is our specialty here, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots and roast chicken with green beans. Come and try it."
The dishes smelled delicious, so Chen Yile started eating them with big mouthfuls to fill his stomach.
"Don't you two sisters want to eat?"
Shi Lingye looked at A Deng and A Pan and asked naively.
Unexpectedly, Shi Lingye's innocence aroused A Pan's evil taste.
She made a face and said, "We usually only eat the souls of the living. It just so happens that you came to our door, hehe."
Shi Lingye was so scared that her face turned pale. A Deng quickly stopped A Pan and explained to Shi Lingye that they were not human and did not need food.
But it’s not that he can’t eat. Seeing Chen Yile eating with relish, A Pan also picked up a piece of meat to taste it out of curiosity.
"Wow, I didn't expect the food these mortals make is so delicious."
A Pan praised the dishes highly and started competing with Chen Yile for them.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Yile lay on the bed as A Deng said.
"I'm ready, let's get started."
A Deng nodded, and a fluorescent light emanated from her hand.
"Apan, you must guard this room well. No one can come in. If anyone disturbs us, the consequences will be serious."
A Pan nodded and stood guard outside the door.
The light in Ah Deng's hand gradually shifted to Chen Yile. Chen Yile felt a surge of joy and peace of mind, followed by a vague warmth, and then seemed to fall into a state between sleep and wakefulness.
After an unknown amount of time, when Chen Yile opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had completely changed.
He was in a wasteland, surrounded by several trees of unknown species. The branches were dry and something like dried meat was hanging on them.
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and there was a dim halo of light, like the sunset or the sunrise, and it was impossible to tell the time.
The entire space was slightly dim, displaying the cold tones of an old-fashioned horror film.
Is this the underworld?
Fortunately, A Deng was also there. She would accompany Chen Yile all the way this time and take him back after the task was completed.
"Now that your soul has left your body and arrived here, let's find your grandmother's lost soul as soon as possible."
Chen Yile asked Ah Deng, "I wonder how vast the underworld is. How can I find my grandmother's soul?"
Ah Deng replied, "Don't worry. I'm already familiar with the scent of my great-grandmother's spirit. I locked onto this place when I came here. It should be nearby."
Chen Yile nodded and walked in one direction.
I didn’t expect the feeling of souls to be so real. If I didn’t know, I would have thought that this was the human world.
"This underworld doesn't look that dark. I thought it would be scary and full of ghosts."
Chen Yile sighed.
Ah Deng smiled faintly: "The underworld you see on TV is all imagined by mortals. How different can the real underworld be from the human world?"
Chen Yile suddenly thought of a question, and he asked Ah Deng, "If an ordinary soul accidentally came to the underworld, wouldn't it be impossible to distinguish it and would mistake this place for the human world?"
Ah Deng nodded. "That's right. That's why many mortals have lost their souls, become idiotic, or even become vegetative. Their souls think this is their world and never want to go back."
So that's how it is. Chen Yile only understood many things now.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Chen Yile saw two figures in front of him.
A woman in white is fighting with a man in black.
Seeing this, A Deng told Chen Yile that many people's souls go to the underworld, and because of their strong obsessions, they will continue to do the most important or most memorable things in their memories.
This battle must be very important to these two people.
When I got closer, I saw that the woman in white looked like a great-grandmother who was thirty years younger. It seemed that I had found the right person.
"Soul Refining Demon Lord, you have cruelly harmed the common people. Today, I, Shangguan Yan, will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
The young grandmother shouted and rushed towards the man in black.
A Deng told Chen Yile that the souls of the two were still fighting in the underworld, and only by untying the knot could they bring back the soul of their grandmother.
"How do I untie this knot?"
"Defeat the opponent and end this decisive battle."
Chen Yile nodded and jumped into the battlefield.
"Who are you and why are you interfering in our affairs?"
The grandmother saw Chen Yile and asked.
"I am a decent person, and I am here to help you get rid of this demon."
Chen Yile knew there was no need to explain too much, so he performed Tai Chi to cover it up.
The grandmother didn't think much about it and turned around to attack the other party.
"Come on, let me see what you have!"
The Soul Refining Demon Lord had a gloomy face, and his figure was like a ghost, sometimes flashing and sometimes disappearing, making it difficult to hit him.
"I'm here to help you!"
Chen Yile shouted loudly, and a bolt of lightning struck directly at the Soul Refining Demon Lord.
The Soul Refining Demon Lord grinned grimly and shot out a stream of black air with a wave of his hand.
The two forces collided, making a deafening noise.
"Ridiculous! You think you can defeat me?"
The Soul Refining Demon Lord curled up his lips in a sneer, as if he could see through their every move.
He quickly pulled out a black magic blade, the blade flashing with a strange light, and pointed it directly at the two of them.
At this moment, Chen Yile felt an unprecedented pressure.
The demon in front of him, the Soul Refining Demon Lord from thirty years ago, has a soul pressure that is even stronger than Leng Xie. I wonder how my grandmother was able to defeat him at that time.
"Go to hell!"
The Soul Refining Demon Lord roared, and the black demon blade drew an arc of light and rushed straight towards him.
At this critical moment, Chen Yile and his grandmother attacked at the same time.
Chen Yile swung out a golden dragon with lightning and thunder, and the grandmother shot out a white beam of light with one hand.
The two rays of light intertwined together, forming a powerful force that crashed into the Demon Lord.
There was a loud "bang", as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart, and the entire underworld was shocked.
This attack was unstoppable and sent the Soul Refining Demon Lord flying dozens of meters.
The figure of the Demon Lord gradually became illusory in the light, as if he felt an irreparable failure.
His face turned pale and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"I can not be reconciled!"
The Soul Refining Demon Lord roared, his body gradually disintegrated, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into nothingness.
